News Star Trek Prodigy Cancelled, Season 2 to be shopped around
- Thread starter EnderAKH
- Start date
I don't see it available for purchase on Amazon Prime Canada, but I don't know if it was removed, or just never there to begin with. However, I do see all 20 episodes available for purchase on iTunes Canada.
So I did something I said I'd never do, and spent money on a digital-only version of a TV show. At this point, we don't know if the second half of the season will ever come out on blu-ray or not, so I wanted to at least give myself the best possible chance to still be able to view the second half of the season in the future, whatever may happen.
I technically only needed the last 10 episodes, since I already have 1 - 10 on blu-ray, but it would have cost $34.90 to buy those 10 episodes individually, whereas I could get the whole season for $29.99, so.....
It looks like the episodes are only in 720p, but beggars, choosers, and such.
And thanks to @jackoverfull 's note earlier in the thread, I am currently downloading all the episodes onto local storage. (No offence intended if someone else mentioned that and I am forgetting you!)
I will still, of course, happily get the episode 11 - 20 blu-ray if it ever comes out, since I tend to prefer physical media.
And naturally, none of this helps for season 2, but I'm hoping this means I'll still be able to watch season 1 in the future if the series gets disappeared.
Also, I hope it goes without saying that I still hope Prodigy finds a new home, so that it can continued to be enjoyed by all, well into the future!
So, forgive me, but this is a long thread... Is there actually a chance we will not see Season 2? Even a slight chance?
WTF is that all about?

yes, there is such chance. We all hope to see it and I think we will eventually, but it is not impossible it will be buried forever.

Thanks for that. I've since read through the thread.
Well, it's sad times for Star Trek fans isn't it? it was only a year ago we were celebrating having new Star Trek episodes all year, but these days shows are dropping like flies.
So, I understand now that Season 2 has been written off for tax purposes and yada yada that's totally shit, but what's the need to pull Season 1 from P+?

Potentially tax write-off as well. Showing no money made.
That's just insane. There would HAVE to be some way they could profit from it, even if it was just selling it off to someone.
Depends on how much it cost to make it. This is very much short term, "save the ship" type thinking, rather than longer term and hope for profits.
If they were still making S2, I'd put it in the "forlorn hope" pile with S3 and beyond. But what I'm getting is that the second season is fully made, it just isn't out yet.
I do see some hope in what Kate Mulgrew said in response to the news, though:
"We still have only just begun."
From what I have gathered Season 2 appears to be done and they are hoping to find it a new home to make that money. If they can do that then it will work. If not, then physical media would be the best bet.
Amazon US has a listing for season 1, part 2 blu-ray up

usually these turn out to be true if it does this is a relief. They can’t take physical media away from you which is why it’s so important to have.

Unfortunately she has no real power over the CBS/Paramount network executives.
I'm sure this is real. The question is, will season 2 end up as direct-to-dvd if Paramount can't find a buyer?
Prodigy is nominated for outstanding family program at TCA

Power over Para-schmucks? No.
But maybe a bit of insider knowledge. She's been in show business for almost half a century, after all.
That's good news. Amazon wouldn't put that up without good reason.
I clicked on that Amazon link, and the page says "Currently Unavailable", with no way to pre-order it.
I imagine someone's at Amazon's jumped the gun and put the page up before it's actually available to preorder.
That's good news. I would like the single box set, but if I have to get two to get the full season, I'll get both.
I mean, if this is real and it sells, they may release a full season boxset.
Another way to help: request the show as a suggestion to Netflix (also for non-subscribers, apparently): https://help.netflix.com/nl/titlerequest
To let Netflix know there is interest in Prodigy.
